With Kal Penn coming out of Hollywood exile to rejoin John Cho for a Very Harold and Kumar Christmas, it makes sense that the plot of the film will revolve around the two becoming estranged and ten years later, strange happenstance finds them on another adventure.
A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas finds the smoked out duo estranged as Harold is a married, drug-free, Wall Street executive living in a home that looks “like a house in a Nancy Myers movie” while Kumar is single, living in the man-cave with his medical license suspended for smoking marijuana.
At the script’s beginning its been a long time since these friends have seen each other, but the duo is reunited when a package, intended for Harold, arrives at their old apartment and Kumar delivers it to his house. While there, in a pot-related mishap, Kumar burns down a Christmas tree grown special by Harold’s father-in-law, requiring the two to venture out in search of a worthy replacement.
… and hilarity ensues.
That should have been added at the end there. Firstshowing has some spoilers I didn’t want to share here. You know they will find themselves in some sort of crazy antics trying to find a tree for christmas, and in the end of it all NPH will come out of nowhere (back from the dead?) in a Christmas miracle and deliver them a tree that will restore the chaos.
NPH is the saviour.
I can’t see this playing out any other way.
